Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`GTAGS_MCP_ROOT` Optional	Optional pinned project root. Usually unnecessary: the server uses the client's workspace roots or auto-detects the repo from its working directory.
`GTAGS_MCP_AUTO_SETUP` Optional	Set to 0 to disable the automatic user-space install of the gtags/ctags toolchain on first use.
